X. M Wallace, President of the defunct
Sumter National Bank, and Mr.. p. G. Bow
man. 1t seems that in examining the bank
papers the receiver found among other
vouchers drafts amounting to over So, 600.
which had been drawn by Mr.. Bowman on
the bank last year. Col. Wallace mentioned
this to gentleman in town and added that
Mr.. Bowman had no money in the bank
when the drafts were drawn Mr.. Bowman
heard of the remark, and meeting Col
Wallace on Main street, in front of
the court house this morning, asked
him about it. Col Wallace replied
that he had said it, whereupon Mr..
Bowman said that he did have money in the
bank when he made the drafts, and told
Col. Wallace that he was liar, adding that
he thought Wallace was as deep in the bank
robbery as Bartlett Wallace gave Bow
man the lie, and the latter Immediately
struck him across the head and shoulders
twice with light bamboo cane which he
carried in his hand. Col Wallace caught
the cane out Of Mr.. Bowman's hand, when
Bowman drew his pistol. Several bystand-
ers then rushed up and parted the combat
ants. Both were arrested, but We're released
after being summoned before the Police
Court In the morning, when all the facts
and circumstances OF the case will re-
ceive an official investigation. At the
time the drafts referred TO were
drawn Mr.. Bowman had money in the bank
amounting 20 about 1900, about 5000 be.
ing his own, and about $3.50 belonging 10
two clients, for whom he had collected from
the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad Company on judgments obtained
against that company. Col. Wallace says
that there was no deposit credited 10 Mr.
Bowman on the book when the drafts were

You are feeling depressed, your appetite is
poor. you are bothered with headache, you
are fidgetty, nervous and generally out OF
sorts and want to brace up; brace up but not
with stimulants, spring medicines or bitters,
which have for their basis very cheap, bad
whisky, and which stimulates you for an
hour, and then leave you in worse condition
than before; what you want is an alternative
that will purify your blood, start healthy ac-
tion of liver and kidneys, restore your vital
ity and give renewed health and strength;
such a medicine you will find in Electric Bit
ters, and only 80 cents bottle at Pattersons'
drug store. 8

A CORRESPONDENT of the Guernsey
Times accurately describes The tornado
of last Friday, as it appeared when
1t passed through Wheeling township.

this was the same tor Dsdo that worked
such immense damage through this
county. Beyond the destruction Of
fences and occasional barns, little dam
sge Is reported from that county, nor
have We heard Of any material damage
IN this county until the IDlirmary was
reached. This may be accounted for
No doubt it was travelling at much
greater altitude out there, and as a re-
suit there was violent connection in
the upper atmosphere. with an OCCASION
al swOoping down; but when the Intrm-
ary farm was reached it dropped, and as
1t moved east hung low down.and swept
all in its track.
Toe theory that 1t originated on the
western border of this township is not
tensble, IN orr opinion.

Mason & HamIin Organs.

Mason 6 Hamliu bid fair to become as
famous for their pianos as they have long
heen for their world>renowned organs; the
distinguishing feature about the Mason 6
Hamlin Piano is an important improvement
in the method of holding the strings. They
are secured by metallic fastenings. instead of
by the friction of pins set in wood, as has
been the case, and the advantages resulting
are highly important; wonderful beauty and
musical quality of tone; far less liability of
getting out of tone; greater reliability in try
ing climate, and greater solidity of cOnstruc>
tion and durability are secured.
